The pipes-text package

Many of the pipes and other operations defined here mirror those in
the pipes-bytestring library. Folds like length and grouping
operations like lines simply adjust for the differences between
ByteString and Text and Word8 and Char. It is hoped that this
homogeneity will aid in learning the terms and programming style associated
with both of them.

The most distinctive addition of the library to that core is the
apparatus for encoding and decoding Text and ByteString.

Also defined are some simple functions akin to the String
operations in Pipes.Prelude, and others like the utilities in Data.Text.

All of the IO operations defined here - e.g readFile, stdout etc.
- are conveniences akin to those in Data.Text.IO which e.g. try to
find the system encoding and use the exceptions defined in the text
library. Proper IO in the sense of this library will employ
pipes-bytestring in conjuntion with pure operations like
decodeUtf8 and encodeUtf8 that are defined here.

Readme for pipes-text-0.0.0.3

text-pipes

This repo is called text-pipes, but the package is named pipes-text as one might expect.
The two modules it contatins, Pipes.Text and Pipes.Text.Parse, use materials from pipes-text;
otherwise they follow the pattern of pipes-bytestring, adding a few pipes-prelude-like operations.
The most important function, decodeUtf8, written by ibotty, uses the development version of the text package; this package can however be built with the hackage text
though decodeUtf8 will then not exist.
